Hi, I live on the top of a big hill and the wind here is incredible, we've just had a week straight of some serious wind and the shed has stood up to it, I have some obs panelling in it though which will of course reinforce the structure. There is about 6" of shaft sticking out of the end of the rollers so I can't see it being too difficult to modify the doors to electric 👍

Hi Steve, tbh I haven't used it all that much as been building workshop, will definitely be getting used more soon though. I've recently made some toolbox brackets for the side of a truck with them and it was great for that, and all my body work jobs have been good as well, for body work I tend to ignore the synergic side and just run hot tacks like you normally would with a standard welder. Overall I'm very happy, haven't used it for tig yet but I will be once I've built my workbench (which I will be using this welder for). I went for a 150 amp torch but if I was to purchase again I think I'd go for a 250 amp torch as its surprised me how much I use the higher amps

hi mate,thanks for the reply,that looks a cracking welder, it was the inverter fusion pulse mig that got me interested in a welder upgrade but very tempted by the bolher now,..or maybe jasic? cracking new workshop too! @@MetalByBrian

Thank you! 🤙

Glad it helped 🤙

That's what I'm trying to avoid but it's catching up on me!

Nuts innit bud 😅

Cheers Mark, gonna be weird fitting a lift kit, but this old girl deserves a retirement, and I need to remember it's going for scene points rather than trial points 😄

Tbh lada power is your best bet, they're still active, going strong and keeping up their good customer service. I am looking to start my own shop for lada parts in the future, but that's after I've saved some money from my business selling custom kits etc

If you aren't already, feel free you join lada niva uk on Facebook, would love to see pictures of your restoration 👌

Yeah, I was always sceptical of it but I decided I needed to try it before I knocked it, and now I've tried it, I'm regretting it 😂

😂

So far they've been great, there's some negative reviews online, but I think that's people who've paid daewoo money expecting Rolls Royce rewards 😄

The Jam left this donut a long time ago! 🤪🤙

I get my long back from my family, I'm used to feeling little twinges, but this time was different 😂 fortunately I haven't had any long-lasting back issues, so feel for you there. As soon as the first coat of paint was on the difference ewas amazing, just the ability to have a mop slide over has made a huge difference

@MetalByBrian yeah it's lucky you chose to paint it or you would of ended up dragging everything back out and then sorting it like I ended up doing. My mother always said I enjoyed learning the hard way lol

@DavesInHisGarage bit worried i may still end up doing that after it all flakes up 😂

@MetalByBrian cheap stuff and I used one tin for a 7x5.5m pad and turned out really nice, just enough left for doing touch-ups if I ever get round to doing it, but welding etc still marks it but much nicer than concrete 👍

Wish I'd spent more time just trowlong mine, where I troweled it applied much better than where I didn't

Definitely, soundproofing is going to be a rolling project I think, as and when the finances become available. Unfortunately, spray foam insulation looks to be about 1k for a shop this size, so I'm looking at alternatives

Must admit I did think the same myself, but I have been working on my own projects whilst teaching so I haven't gone all out soft 😄 what on earth is your new project 🫨

Cheers Mark, it's gone very well and great when you have someone willing to get stuck in with you 👍

It went very well, 100% the neighbours are just sick of looking at scrap 😂

Cheers Kyle, Hoping to keep it up, was the concrete that slowed me down 🤙

How's thing going Dave? Tbf although there were some stressful points it's wasn't too bad to install the garage, just took forever 😄

@MetalByBrian onwards and upwards, as they say, well worth the wait to set you up pursuing what you love and enjoy

Concrete was the worst part, only bit I wanted outside help for and setting it up was hard work

@MetalByBrian should of give us a shout. I did my 7x5.5m pad for mine and I agree it's hard graft, I had to dig deep footings around 450mm by about a foot and a half, the main floor if the pad is around 6/8inch thick, the ground in Middleton freezes like you've never seen in your life lol

I know, but this went beyond your average ikea furniture 😄 3,4,5 is the easiest way, multiply them all by the same number and you'll get a right angle, so if the shortest length is 6, and the adjacent is 8, (the angle between those two must be 90 degrees) then the opposite is going to be 10

Haha, I trusted a drawing and it paid off 😄 must admit I was worried though 🤪

Thanks Alex. I was in business with my dad a few years back, it has its pros and cons, I like being my own boss though, your stress is your own stress when you're your own boss

Cheers Paul, that would be nice if I can find someone who is willing to invest that in me 😀

Think they're happier looking at the garage than the scrap yard 😄 And land rovers are allowed on the drive as long as they'll start so they can get back off the drive 😄

Cheers Mark 🤙

Thanks Kyle, I have plans for a steering box, hardest part is the worm gears inside

@@MetalByBrian no worries mate. The steering box shouldn’t be a problem for a man of your calibre

Yeah bud tip top, busy with life, hope all good with you

@@MetalByBrian ye just on holiday out with family

Enjoy yourself, and don't get sun burn!

@@MetalByBrian dont realy get burnt but it has been fun of home Saturday

Yes that's correct

That will have been one I'd just sold, had to sell it to make space for the workshop I'm building 😀

Thank you! I've been busy lately, but I promise to start uploading videos again soon 👍

Tip top!

Yeah, I'm looking forward to making the cage, can do some nice welds then 👍 haven't had chance to touch it since this though

Bet I can get it stuck 🤪

Thank you!

Get it done! 💪 👍
